Yokohama tyres are very good. Hankook also offers some good tyres but never tried them. Tyres should always be bought brand new and check the manufacturing date stamped on tyre and it can be used till 4-5 years from manufacturing date or 50-60k kms which ever comes first.

wheel with 195 width hit the fenders archers. Even it hits in e100.
but 195/55R15 is one of best profile in 15's. comfortable and looks good.

195/55/15 is best in looks and doesn’t hurt suspension imo.

The paint job is completed.
Took only these in a hurry.

Tomorrow car will shift to mechanic for engine fitting and wiring.

The result seems to be waveless and smooth paint finish (in the pictures)

Hope it is so. Did you get it bake painted?

What colour code is this?

The picture don't do justice.
It looks way more shiny and clear in open sunlight to naked eye.
Not baked paint just simple paint job in booth.

Brought the car at mechanic's place at 1pm.
So began the process of engine fitting. The clutch plate and disc were in bad condition so changed it.
Half wiring is done rest will be completed tomorrow.
The suspension was checked. Front shocks were perfectly fine although Spacers were removed.
Steering box bushes were done plus tie rods.
Front brake rotors polished and brake pads changed.
